Brendel Posed For A Second

Many have asked how my cats are doing. They are fine. Brendel rarely allows many photos. I was able to get this one while she was in between naps in the screen room. The Dude was in another chair snoozing as usual. They both enjoyed a thunderstorm in the screen room earlier today. Didn't seem to bother either one of them. So, hello from Brendel. She and the Dude are always checking on their Mom. My babies. I will share the Dude soon. He is snoring now. It will be awhile before he wakes up. Such a funny Dude. Photo is mine.

@CarolDM I am going to check your post. This morning I had my new washing machine delivered, I could oly go through my notifications and read some posts. The best is if the doctor can keep your pain level down, you need time to recover, but at least it would be nice not to be in pain.

I had to post this photo, she was trying toast like she was sleeping. Too cute. I am feeling a little stronger. I posted and update yesterday. I still have headaches and neck pain daily. But he told me that is part of the healing. And I do understand that. He did a lot of surgery. I start pain management next week and really hope they can come up with something to keep the pain level down. I am wanting to do more. But I cannot rush the process. I know this.

@LadyDuck So happy about your washing machine being delivered. I would love for them to figure out the right meds to calm things down.

Yes, that does make sense. I rarely suffer headaches so I know little about them except that they are not pleasant.

@rebelann The healing process will cause the headaches as well. He told me that in the beginning. I am trying to be patient.

Hello beautiful Brendel. Glad that she is doing good. It is amazing neither are bothered by thunderstorms. Buttons would run and hide when she heard the slightest sound of thunder and Ginger does the same.

@moffittjc He loves it. Such the opposite of Brendel. He talks, he snores, has many dog traits, like a big teddy bear. He is mostly a Bombay cat, so they do have dog qualities.
